October 6 - Hoping for a Miracle: Hundreds Visit Holy IconArticle: Signs And Wonders|
A prayer service in the middle of day brought hundreds to a Stark County Church Thursday to see a holy icon. They came looking for healing and hoping for a miracle.
Our Lady of Iveron icon was brought to the St. George Serbian Orthodox Church. Believers say the image of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child is responsible for numerous physical and spiritual healings. The icon was found on a book shelf in a chapel in Hawaii -- with Myrrh, a fragrant oil -- streaming from her face. It was officially recognized as miraculous in 2008 by the Russian Orthodox Church. Father Dragan Filipovic, of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church, says the icon serves as an intercessor. "The blessed mother hopefully will take those prayers to her son and him respond to those prayers," Fr. Filipovic said. Our Lady of Iveron icon has traveled to more than 250 Orthodox churches throughout the U.S. and Canada. It has been venerated by about 250,000 people of various faiths. The message the icon leaves, wherever the image of the Virgin Mary goes, is that the greatest miracle is the change in one's heart.
